Chapter 43 Lin Xian'er's Innate Talent
Chapter 43 Lin Xian'er's Innate Talent
The battle ended quickly.
Although they were all minor characters, there were many of them, and together they gained 1060 Fate Points.
This is also one of the reasons why Gu Yu insisted on leaving Li Garden.
If he stays in Li Garden, some people will be wary of Li Xunhuan's reputation and dare not easily attack him.
Moreover, there are some concerns about killing someone in the city; it would be troublesome if it alerted the authorities.
As dawn broke, a message popped into Gu Yu's mind—
[Today's intelligence: Lin Xian'er has already sided with Shangguan Jin Hong and is secretly spreading the news that the host possesses the "Pitying Flower Treasure Mirror" and the Golden Silk Armor. Multiple forces are searching for the host's whereabouts. Proceed with caution.]
Gu Yu: "..."
What the hell!
It turns out it was Lin Xian'er who was behind this!
Gu Yu had been wondering where Lin Xian'er had gone and why there was no news of her at all.
Unexpectedly, this woman managed to get close to Shangguan Jin Hong so quickly.
In fact, in Gu Yu's eyes, Lin Xian'er was beautiful, but she was not as womanly as Hua Baifeng.
In terms of figure, she is not as good as Shen San Niang.
After all, Gu Yu prefers women who are a bit plump.
Another reason is that he knows Lin Xian'er too well and knows what kind of woman she is, so he naturally looks down on her a bit.
However, Lin Xian'er has one major advantage. If she were to be compared to a swordsman, she would have reached the point of perfect harmony between herself and her sword, maximizing her strengths.
She can perfectly blend her appearance, voice, body, eyes, expressions, and even every subtle movement together, making men infatuated.
This is something that the vast majority of women cannot do.
Perhaps this is a talent she was born with.
"Ugh!"
Gu Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Afei asked in confusion, "Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of Lin Xian'er."
Ah Fei looked at him strangely and laughed, "Could it be that you've also fallen for Lin Xian'er? Can't forget her?"
"No! I really offended her badly at Xingyun Manor last time; she's my sworn enemy. So, I'm wondering if she's the one who leaked the news?"
"Oh?"
"Ah Fei, think about it. Over the years, very few people have known that the 'Pitying Flower Precious Mirror' is with Lady Lin."
Upon hearing this, Afei's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but say, "That's right! Both Long Xiaoyun and his son are dead. It's impossible for Lady Lin and Brother Li to have revealed any information, so it can only be Lin Xian'er."
"Yes! But, with her own strength, the news couldn't have spread that quickly. So, I suspect she escaped to the Money Gang."
Ah Fei suddenly realized, "No wonder I haven't heard from her for so long. That's right, Brother Gu, you've made enemies with the Money Gang, so she's taking this opportunity to kick you when you're down."
"Yes, very likely. This woman was able to pull off a major case like the Plum Blossom Thief when she was with Long Xiaoyun. If she really joins the Money Gang, she'll be even more at ease and could cause quite a stir."
Upon hearing this, A-Fei couldn't help but grip the hilt of his sword, his killing intent palpable as he declared, "Given the chance, I will definitely kill this vicious woman!"
[Ah Fei develops intense hatred and murderous intent towards Lin Xian'er, and fate takes another turn, granting him 500 Fate Points.]
Huh?
Upon seeing this message, Gu Yu was overjoyed.
It was truly an unexpected bonus.
But on second thought, it's not surprising.
According to the original plot, Afei couldn't bring himself to do it, so he took Lin Xian'er and ran away. As a result, he not only got cuckolded again and again, but was also almost raised into a useless person by Lin Xian'er.
But things are different now.
If Afei were to actually meet Lin Xian'er, he would definitely take action without hesitation.
That day, the two encountered two more groups of people who wanted to steal the treasure.
After all, the temptation was too great.
Once successful, not only will you obtain the "Lianhua Treasure Mirror," but you will also acquire the Golden Silk Armor, one of the "Three Treasures of the Martial World," as well as Gu Yu's famous sword.
At the same time, it can also make you famous overnight and make you a legend!
In the world of martial arts, how many people can resist such temptation?
Unfortunately, instead of getting the treasure, they sent Gu Yu several hundred Fate Points.
The following morning.
When Gu Yu and A Fei passed through a small town, they were stopped by three Wudang disciples.
The leader was an old Taoist priest who looked to be about fifty years old and seemed to have considerable cultivation.
Beside him were two disciples in their twenties, gripping their sword hilts tightly, as if they might draw their swords and charge at any moment.
"So you are the amorous swordsman Gu Yu?"
The elderly man at the head of the group sternly questioned Gu Yu.
"good!"
"My surname is Lü, and I am the Third Elder of Wudang."
Gu Yu bowed politely, saying, "So you are Elder Lü. My apologies for my rudeness!"
"I've heard that you, young hero, have secretly learned my sect's Wuji Swordplay and Ladder Cloud Leap?"
Gu Yu laughed and said, "How can you say I stole your knowledge? I learned it openly and honestly."
The Wudang disciple on the left angrily retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! The Wuji Swordplay and the Cloud Ladder Leap are Wudang's unique skills, never passed on to outsiders. Where did you learn them from?"
Gu Yu's face darkened: "What? Do the three of you insist on having me speak?"
"Good! Today, you must make this clear to my face!"
"Hehe, alright! I'll keep those two manuals in Li Garden. As for where they came from, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the three of you."
Elder Lü was taken aback: "Ask us?"
"Yes! May I ask, how did your Wudang's closely guarded secret end up beside Lin Xian'er's pillow?"
"you……"
Gu Yu said coldly, "What? You're denying it? Lin Xian'er herself confessed that the secret manuals by her pillow were all given to her by disciples of various sects in order to get intimate with her."
Upon hearing this, Elder Lü and the other two turned red in the face, too angry to speak.
"Alright, I've made myself clear. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Gu Yu took two steps to the side, ready to leave.
"Whoosh!"
Unexpectedly, one of the disciples drew his sword and stopped him once again.
"You've killed so many people, and you think you can just walk away like this?"
"Hahaha!"
Gu Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright, I understand now. You didn't come for the Wudang martial arts manuals at all, you came for the 'Lianhua Precious Mirror,' right?"
Elder Lü blushed and said, "Young Hero Gu, no matter what, it's ultimately inappropriate for you to have learned our sect's swordsmanship and lightness skills. You should come back to Wudang with us to confront him in person..."
Before he could finish speaking, Afei suddenly drew his sword.
Before Elder Lü could even react, the tip of the sword was already pressed against his throat, terrifying him to the point that his face turned deathly pale and cold sweat poured down his back.
What a fast sword!
The other two Wudang disciples' expressions changed drastically, and they shouted in unison, "Stop!"
Afei coldly said, "I don't care what sect you belong to. If you dare to cause any more trouble, I'll take your life with my next sword strike!"
Elder Lü said in a trembling voice, "Young hero, please don't act rashly!"
Gu Yu sighed, "I never imagined that Wudang would have fallen to such a state. It has truly disgraced your esteemed founder, Master Zhang."
Upon hearing this, the Wudang disciple on the right angrily retorted, "If you're so capable, fight me fair and square!"
Gu Yu glanced at the two disciples and laughed, "You two come at me together, so the other one won't be dissatisfied later."
"Arrogant!"
The two disciples, their faces flushed with anger, thrust their swords forward.
"Clang clang!"
Two crisp metallic clanging sounds rang out at the scene.
"Whoosh!"
Gu Yu sheathed his sword.
The two Wudang disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, for they had no swords left in their hands.
With a single move, Gu Yu managed to knock the swords out of the hands of both men.
At this moment, Afei slowly withdrew his sword.
Elder Lü swallowed hard.
"Elder Lü, you don't need to feel ashamed. What I just used was Wudang swordsmanship."
Elder Lü's expression changed several times.
After a moment of silence, he finally let out a long sigh: "You two young heroes are truly skilled. This humble Taoist... will take his leave now!"
The two disciples quickly picked up the swords from the ground and slunk away as well.
[With a single sword strike, Elder Lü of Wudang and his two disciples were intimidated, gaining 150 Destiny Points.]
